New Orleans police said a man who was shot by his brother was spared serious injury when the bullet bounced off his gold tooth.

Police said Waltdell Davis, 20, used a .22-caliber revolver to shoot his brother, Walter Davis, 22, after an argument. Walter was struck in the upper lip and doctors said all they found was a bullet fragment near his left nostril.

Paramedics said the victim told them the bullet ricocheted off his gold tooth.

Walter Davis told police he did not want to press charges against his brother, but Waltdell Davis, who was on probation at the time for possession of anxiety drug alprazolam, was picked up on a probation violation.

日前美国港市新奥尔良当地警察称，一男子被其弟弟枪击，然而子弹和他的镶金牙齿相遇后便双双被撞飞，该男子故而免遭重创。

警察称，今年20岁的沃特戴尔与22岁的兄长沃特尔发生口角，随即用一把0.22口径的左轮手枪袭击沃特尔。沃特尔上唇中弹，医生称他们除了在沃特尔的左鼻孔附近发现了一块子弹残片外，没有发现其他异常。

护理人员则反映，受害者告诉他们，子弹撞飞了他的金牙。

据悉，沃特尔对警察表示自己并不想起诉弟弟，但此前因持有禁药阿普唑仑而被察看的沃特戴尔目前终因违反缓刑规定而被拘捕。
